    0.1 and Siraj's Sri Lanka average gets even better! Starts with a beauty. Good length, angling into the fifth-stump channel, and that angle, coupled with Siraj's arm coming from beyond the vertical, force Nissanka into feeling for the ball. Then it curves away dangerously late, and kisses the outside edge and carries low to KL Rahul falling to his right 0/1
    16.6 He's lobbed that back to Washington! Avishka was looking good and that's a soft dismissal. This is tossed up on leg. Avishka closes the bat early as he tries to tuck it to the leg side and gets a leading edge that pops up back to the bowler. And India strike right before the drinks break 74/2
    18.1 Struck on the full in front of leg and up goes the finger! Washington Sundar is on a hat-trick! Fired in on leg, sneaks under the bat as Mendis looks to sweep. Mendis thinks about it but doesn't review, and probably rightly so. Washington has removed both set batters in the space of two balls! 79/3
    26.4 and there's a wicket, finally. Steps out now, and Axar slowed this down nicely outside off. Nowhere near the pitch of it as he looks to go over mid-on. It grips and turns, though, and all he manages to do is slice it high in the air for Kohli to get under at cover 111/4
    34.5 turn, bounce, and Asalanka gives backward point catching practice. Back of a length pitching close to off stump, and it explodes off the pitch as Asalanka looks to go back and dab it behind square. All he can do is send the ball ballooning into backward point's hands 136/6
    33.4 gottim. Tossed up slow outside off, and Liyanage perishes to the slowness of this surface. Looks to drive with the bat a long way in front of his body, and has to roll his wrists over to complete the stroke. Can't keep the ball down, though, and hits it straight back at the bowler 136/5
    46.1 And he gets a big wicket! Wellalage was ready for the reverse sweep very early, Kuldeep saw it and slowed it down. He only gets it off the top edge and Shivam Dube, moving to his left from short third makes no mistake this time. He let a similar chance go begging earlier in the game, but he holds on without any fuss this time. Kuldeep delivers in his final over. No back-to-back fifties for Wellalage, sadly, but he has again played a crucial hand for Sri Lanka here 208/7
    49.5 Looks to hook a short ball dug in outside off. The ball drops short of Shreyas Iyer running in from deep midwicket. But wait, he's pulled off a direct hit from far, far away! Kamindu is walking off. That's sensational from Shreyas Iyer! But Kamindu Mendis walks off having played an important innings here 239/8
    49.6 Vandersay digs this full delivery on leg out to mid-off and takes off for a single. Rohit throws it at the non-striker's end but misses and it goes to Kohli at cover, who sees Akila Dananjaya taking off for a second. Kohli races to the stumps and runs him out. Caps off a good day in the field for him. But Sri Lanka will likely be happy at getting 10 more than they did in the last game 240/9

    13.3 and there's the breakthrough!!! Superb catch from Nissanka running to his right from backward point and diving to grab the ball with both hands. Rohit falls to the switch sweep. The line was on leg stump, and the shot may have been on ordinarily, but Vandersay gets a bit of extra bounce and finds the top edge. Ends a terrific innings that's made India's job a whole lot more straightforward 97/1
    17.1 That's an absolute screamer from Kamindu Mendis! Gill looks to drive this legbreak and gets a thick edge. It flies past Mendis at first slip and he flings himself at full stretch to grab the ball from behind him. Great one-handed take, and Gill has to go! 116/2
    19.4 Big shout and up goes the finger immediately! Legbreak pitching around middle, and it sneaks past the inside edge. Kohli doesn't review. Vandersay has four! He completely misjudged the line there and was struck plumb in front. Oh boy, do we have a game on or what? 123/4
    17.5 That's plumb! Vandersay has two in the over! They don't even bother reviewing. This is a legbreak pitching on off and spinning in to hit him in front of middle. Umpire had his finger up quick and Sri Lanka are right back in this game! 116/3
    33.1 and Asalanka takes the first non-Vandersay wicket of the innings! Hard length into the pitch, and he goes back to punch down the ground. Doesn't turn a great deal too, so the ball kind of cramps him as well as stops on him. He hits it uppishly, and Asalanka dives left, across the pitch, and grabs it with both hands inches above the ground. Terrific catch from Sri Lanka's captain 185/7
    21.5 Big appeal as Vandersay gets one to zip pas Shreyas' inside edge! Sri Lanka review. This is a length ball around off that turns in and goes past his inside edge to hit him below the knee roll of the front pad with Shreyas pressing forward in defence. And that's shown to be hitting the leg bail, so three reds on the DRS and a five-wicket haul for Jeffrey Vandersay! His first five-wicket haul and it has India on the mat! 133/5
    23.1 Six for Vandersay! KL Rahul looks for a booming drive and he's been cleaned up! Length ball around off has Rahul looking to drive. It goes off his gloves onto the stumps! Oh my, Vandersay has the Indian batting lineup dancing to his tune! 147/6
    35.3 Given out this time! And Washington reviews. This is an arm ball pitching around off and going past the inside edge to hit Washington on the back pad. And the ball is shown to be hitting top of leg. India lose a wicket and a review. Sri Lanka inch closer to victory! 190/8

    40.2 Siraj misses one that spins in! This one stays low. Siraj is on his knees, looking distraught and still does review it. But likely in vain. This pitched on a length just outside off and spun in slightly while staying low to beat Siraj's bat as he brought it down late. Siraj sees there was no nick and starts to walk off immediately. It's three reds and Asalanka has his second three-wicket haul of the series! 201/9
    42.2 And that's a run-out! Sri Lanka win! An emotional Vandersay says a prayer. There are high fives all around. Kusal Mendis is pumped. Asalanka is thrilled. What a win for Sri Lanka! Length ball got an inside edge from Kuldeep past the keeper. Kuldeep took off for a run but the slip fielder was quick to recover and throw it to Kusal Mendis who took off the stumps to seal the game and a 1-0 series lead! Sri Lanka can't lose the series now! 208/10
